    Why use Kellogg's® Rice Krispies®?

    To experience the timeless flavor, make your Rice Krispies Treats® squares with the original Rice Krispies® brand cereal.

3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool.

I have 16 month twin girls, and whenjust started to learn to pick up foods, I remember as a child they would stick to your tounge. I bought a box from the store. I put some on there tray and in no time the figured out that they could lick their fingers touch the Rice Krispies and they would kling to their fingers. They have loved them ever since. I wanted to share this photo of them recently with some Rice Krispies. I stepped away long enough to grab them some socks, and they decided to get some Rice Krispies out of the cabinet . See picture for rest of the story. I have more photos if you would love to see them.
